Problem with compiler for sco unix in Linux

I have an old compiler (microfocus cobol) running under sco unix 3.2.4.
Now I use it under RH 8.0 with abi-ibcs, but now I have to change pc and
in the new distro with kernel 2.6 there isn't abi-ibcs. How can I do ?

Re: Problem with compiler for sco unix in Linux

There are still kernel patches around but you wil have to patch and
build your own kernel.

The last Linux I've found that reliably has run SCO COFF applications with
the linux-abi was SuSE 9.0 Pro. The last new OpenServer installation I did
was one where they were still running 80286 Xenix binaries which, to the
best of my knowledge, never ran under Linux.

Today, I would probably run the old SCO applications under VMware rather
than dealing with the linux-abi.
